About Us


After my first 5 years in the retail furniture industry, I was disappointed to find that the Northwest Arkansas market had no true modern or classic interior design retailers. To find the best designers I had to visit Dallas, Chicago, LA, or New York markets. My growing passion for contemporary and classic modern form inspired me to seek out exciting designers in Europe and across the United States. In November 2003, I sold everything I had to open Lacuna Modern.  My driving principle was to address the growing popularity of custom modern and classic furniture in the Northwest Arkansas area. After 2 decades, my passion, inspiration and selection is stronger than ever.

The Lacuna Modern Showroom located in Fayetteville, Arkansas offers only the purest examples designers working in the 20th and 21st centuries. Clients are offered infinite design possibilities for their residential and commercial needs. Our staff effectively illustrates the art of selection in creating comfortable and beautiful environments. More than a furniture store, Lacuna Modern offers visions of a modern lifestyle, including lighting, art, floor coverings, books, accessories, closet and kitchen systems. Our philosophy is based on the ways our surroundings influence not only where we sit, but also our moods, health, ability to manage time, and state of mind.

Lacuna Modern offers a network hub of design experts available to help plan your space. Our staff does not sell, but instead listens and provides solutions to meet each individual Client's needs. I hope that your visit to Lacuna will delight, enlighten, educate, and far exceed your expectations.
